What do a Russian mathematics professor, a biomedical engineer with Iranian roots, and a German artist have in common? They all live and work in Germany, the land for their ideas, and they are three of eight protagonists of a film in which people of different nationalities talk about their experiences in Germany. The film “Welcome to Germany – The place for your ideas”, presented by the “Germany – Land of Ideas” initiative and the German Federal Foreign Office, gives viewers impressions of a country that offers excellent work and study conditions, enabling non-Germans to achieve fulfilment and feel at home. The people featured in the film engage with topics such as renewable energies, creative industries, and organic electronics. Aside from outstanding working conditions and exciting fields of research, Germany offers a unique quality of life, excellent conditions for realizing creative projects, and the freedom to implement ideas.
